This is a book that I had no intention of picking up to read. I was not impressed by the advertizment and the subject matter was not really appealing. Then I read "Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd and I wanted more. I am now really happy that I chose to read this book. It tells the tale of one womans search.... "Happily" married for 20 years, mother of one, still blaming herself for the death of her father, and finally called to care for her Mother, as she appears to be going insane, Jessie is opened up to a whole new world...one which does not balance on the life foundation she thought she had.
